5&k gcraltl and Atlrcrfiscr. Newnan, Ga., Friday, Dec. 2, 1887, BY COACH ABOUT ENGLAND. Scenery of the KnglLii Ooimtr}'—Filling Tliroiiyli the Vli).iS , -8. I was glad to find myself in the morn ing leaving tlif* new and uninteresting streets of Leamington and passing out into t!i<“ Warwick r l seated on the top of a fast going four horse coach, bound into the English country and toward the old English towns of the west. Hut Worcester and Hereford were still iar a wav. and we had first to think of (dir journev thither as part of our pleasure, not as means to an end. The • •nsation was one of dignity and superi ority. and we. the passengers, all looked a little self conscious, for - as is etiquette in a town, the guard was winding clear and merry blasts upon his horn, and every passer by was turning to see. It was on the high road first that the splen did exhilaration of driving in tins way overcame us. The day was cloudy and rather cold; the wind blew fresh in our faces, and the long far landscapes and slopes and fields were hidden in low roll ing mists, although the air near by was clear. The country, which we could view well over the tall hedgerows from our high seats, looked dull, for there were no fair shadows and patches of sunlight to see. The weather was every morning of this cloudy fashion, yet al- wavs at midday the clouds broke and the afternoon fields would be bright with sun. Through the whole drive we met few (Kiople upon the roads, no gentlefolk at all, only the drivers of carts, vans and traveling shows, and round canvas topped millers' wagons drawn by the largest and shaggiest of Clydesdale horses. The rnen we passed were of a red faced type, wearing corduroy trousers, tied tight round the leg with a string just below the knee, the nearest approach to the Knickerbockers of yore. Some of the oldest of these men touched their hats; all stared. There was little talking done bv any of us. Each one sat trying to fasten these impressions of inside England which were thronging on our minds. The rattle of the horses’ hoofs and the roll of the wheels filled the ear with pleasant suggestions, and now and again the horn wound, and there was the ex citement of passing through one of those villages where the people of this crowded island live huddled together like cattle amid squalor and beauty hard to find. Wo saw nowhere during our journey tlie village cottage in the beauty which it possessed in Warwickshire. In the coun ties of Monmouth, Gloucester and most of Worcester the villages tire built of stone or brick, new and more comfort able"; here they are built of “wattle and dab,’’or osiers and mud, as we should say, and they have thick, brown thatched roofs and dormer windows with bright little panes, and black beams in the walls, often half hid by creeping vines or white rose bushes. Their little doors open directly on the street, and in the lower windows, best of all, the finest pots of i red and white geraniums. It is astonish- ; mg the pleasure one may feel while one j looks at these simple houses and forgets j the life which must be led inside. They are large enough for two—but for ten!— ; Cor.

Scarcely a day passes when Dr. John T. Nagle, deputy registrar of vital statis tics, does not receive a bulletin or pam phlet showing the state of public health | in some more or less remote country. In j return he sends information to almost j every civilized government on earth. His ; little office in Mott street is filled with : choice documents, written in English, j German, French. Portuguese. Spanish, ' Russian, Roumanian, Danish, Swedish, j Hungarian, Italian and other tongues. ; : Complicated tables come in avalanches from Great Britain and her colonies in all ' quarters of the globe. A report from : i Calcutta shows that the “Amalgamated j busbec and tank committee'* met four [ t imes during the first quarter of the fiscal year 188(1-7. There is a bibulous sug- j gestion about the title of this useful hotly j which is not diminished by the statement j that two of their meetings were held out I of doors. Of all the European countries Ron- I mania is the most industrious in the i manufacture of statistics. She sends out j every year dozens of volumes bound iu j i gavlv colored paper, each hearing the im- j print of the government bureau winch is- j sued it. Finland is determined that no * one shall he. kept in doubt as to her exact , condition. In vast deserts of ten and twelve syllable words is an occasional I which struts the oasis of French, which gives a general idea of what the Finnish statistician is trving to get at. Private lunatic, asylums are “yieisten sairachuoneiden lasaretti | osastoissa, ” and public madhouses "hal- luinhoitolaitoksissa, ’’ Official reports from Servia are printed in letters which had a narrow escape from being Greek. Consonants, particularly “h” and “j.’’ are strewn with an unsparing hand through the Swedish compilation. The Latin names of diseases are given in con nection with the Swedish, and ,i reader who pays his money may take his choice. ••Tub. lijernheimeinflammation” is a fashionable lung disease, and “fyellerigul anskap” is delirium tremens. Protracted drinking brings a Swede to alkoholoss- jukdom, and a Dario to haeardevinssvg- dom. When a Stockholm citizen suc cumbs to old aye the doctor writes “ulderdonisaptyuing” on the death cer tificate, and everybody knows what the trouble was. Neatly printed and volumin- I ous reports come from Central and South America, Venezuela, Colombia and the : Argentine Republic issue documents in sonorous Spanish. -Little Guatemala’s | official pamphlets have gorgeous red bor ders. The unspeakable Turk has a soul above figures, and never takes the pains to find out the sanitary condition of his empire. There is a story of a United States consul in a Turkish town who asked the local pasha for estimates of the population. Ill a characteristic reply, beginning “Oh. my lamb!"’ the pasha said that he had dwelt for forty years in the city, yet ho had . ever counted the houses over the people that dwelt therein. He failed to see why any man should seek after infor mation not vouchsafed by the wisdom of Allah. A I’rettv Description of the Cocoanut’* (irouth—l'nluading a Vessel. I have found a queer crowd over at a Brooklyn pier where a cargo of cocoa- nuts was being unloaded. The largest of these nuts are shipped here from Aspin- wall and Cartagena, but the smaller and liner variety is brought from Cuba and Poi'to Rico. A steamer’s cargo will count out from 50,000 to 200,000. I can never see one of those almost human faced cocoanuts that I do not live over again my idyllic wanderings in Cuba with stately Don Miguel, and hear hix pretty description, in the old Luyano posada. of how the cocoanut propagates itself. “These very eyes.” said the Don. “are as much the outlook of the coccamit s perpetual life as men's eyes are the win dows of their souls. Through these eyes j the new tree breaks to the sun. The ovule : is a slender, cone shaped mass in the case j at the big end of the fruit. Its sustenta- tion comes from the rich, milky meat about it, from which it draws its power as it forces its way to the light through one of these strange eyes, and in what ever direction it may be pointed it then steers straight for the sky. Innumerable delicate thread like roots till the nut and feed upon the mother heart, until the nutrition is exhausted, when the power ful shell parts like an egg shell from young chicken, and the outreaching roots soon as this tender shoot- has reached the air, leaves form in diminutive represen tation of the pinnate leaves of j the full grown tree, which sometimes j reaches a height of seventy feet, though ; its myriads of roots seldom exceed the i size of your lead pencil. Within four or five years fruit is borne, and is continued ! forty or fifty vein's in never failing and j increasingly bountiful supply, clustered j up there at the top of the trees a* if ; hiding beneath their plume like tufts of : foliage. ’' These cargoes of cocoanuts are mi- ! loaded by the same desperate class that j work in the holds of banana vessels, j They are passed up from below in cas- j kets. each containing from twenty to I thirty nuts. On deck they are coiuiied and assorted into t wo grades. They are then sacked on deck. 100 first grade and 125 second grade nuts to each sack, and immediately carted away. Frequently half the cargo is spoiled from heat; or in a rough voyage the terrific pounding i given the nuts ruins many, and ny the j time they are landed they are in a rottgig ! condition. The purchasers of the unin jured cocoanuts get the "sick." or i “she,” nuts, as the vernacular of the j trade terms them, for nothing. An i in i these is sometimes found the larger pioiit. I On Washington and Barclay streets are great dens where they are turned into money removed, dried, ground with sugar and desiccated ready for use in deadly sweet meats for your children, or consumption A legacy, Not » I-avrsuit. A man may now, if he is careful and wise in his choice of a company, insure lus life, or. if insured, he may have the temerity to die, without a fairly grounded expectation of leaving liis family a law 1 suit for a legacy. He may also bo rea sonably sure that he is not placing h:? ; own reputation (after he is unable to de fend it) at the mercy of a powerful cor poration intent upon saving its funds from the inroads of a just debt. And I ques tion if it is too much to say that, given ; enough money, a strong motive and a powerful corporation on the one hand and only a sorrowing family on the other, no man ever lived or died whose reputa tion could not be blackened beyond re pair. after he was himself unable to ex plain or refute seeming irregularities of conduct or dishonest}' of motive. No man’s character is invulnerable, and no man’s reputation can afford the strain or test of such a contest. Millions of dollars have been withheld from rightful heirs , by threats of an exposure—the more j vague the more frightful—of the unsus- ; pected crimes or misdeeds of the beloved j dead. Thousands of cases never known to the public have been "compromised” and i hundreds of heart aches and unjust sus picions and fears about the dead, which can never be corrected, are aroused in j sorrowing but loving breasts by this ; method of doing "business." It is. of course, of the utmost importance that, every precaution be taken hv life insur ance companies to protect the funds held j by them in trust for others against fraud i and trickery. But with ihe agent. 1 he ex amining physician, the medical directors and the inspectors, ali employed by and answerable to the company represented, j if fraud is committed in getting into the company, one or all of these paid officers ; must almost of necessity be parly to that : fraud. With all these safeguards in the ; hands of the company, if a man is ac- j cepted as a "good risk.” if lie pay? his premiums, surely his family has the right ; to expect a legacy and not a lawsuit nor ; a “compromise” which must cast re proach on the dead.—Popular Science Monthly.

The poles were cut by the- Indian guide without any special attention being paid to their size by Mr. Fiorence.

So Several years ago Dr. Nagle says re- \ that the cocoanut subject is one we are The Cnpit;«1 of Mexico. ’ The city of Mexico, capital of the re public. with a population of about 250.- d00. as is well known, is situated on ground that was formerly an island in Lake Texeoeo. The name is derived from Mexitli. the.Aztec war god. In brief, ihe story of its origin runs thus: i Henry, treating of the health of Iclian ports from China and Japan were printed in the vernacular. Nov,* those interest ing countries send to barbarian lands hard facts in good English. The-Celestial empire shows a weakness for brilliant yellowy covers, like those of an old time dime novel. But the medical reports of the Chinese cities, garnished with mete orological tables and temperature charts that look like maj of a yacht race, con tain matter more interesting than any thing in yellow covered Action. Dr. A. The Aztecs, while wandering about tho country, met rival tribe, the (’oilmans; ; being defeated in battle and pursued, they . marched to the valley of Mexico. A11 ; oracle had commanded them not to found a city until they had come to a spot where an eagle should lie seen standing on j a rock. They shortly after beheld, in their wanderings, an eagle perched on a I cactus growing out of a rock; hence they j founded a city, calling it Tenochtitlan— j meaning, “cactus upon a rock.” Under this name it was the capital of the old empire of Ar.ahuae. Hence on the nn- tional flag, as also on some of the coins, j will be seen the device of an eagle with a j serpent in its beak, perched on a cactus protruding from a rook. The city has an ' elevation of 7.400 feet above sea level, and a mean temperature of 60 deg. Fahr. —Cor. New York Post. says that although the scenery is majestic and imposing, the filthy habits of the na tives give to the place unhealthy, mal odorous and unrest hetie features.

The sturdy old woodsman replied: “Me tell 'em Mr. Florence put ’em up and they not come down unless Mr. Florence g&y so.' Again Mr. Florence looked up at the flags, and : th( it suddenly flashed across his mind that i the objection lay in tho fact that the pole j for the American flag was about ten feet , higher than the one on winch the English j banner was displayed, and that hi tills j W.

There is one man 011 my list who never 1 would be missed. and that's the man • who shouts "chestnuts" every time a man tells a story, or even when he makes a. quotation. In the first place the man who says "chestnuts” is generally a fel low who never tells 0 story himself, or, if he does, it is something from a way back in the twilight of fable. Now, sleeping is a chestnut, and so is eating and thinking, but they’re good all the same. Shakspeare is a chestnut, and so is Dickens and Lyrton, but these fellows wins yell it at them don’t do anything as .good. Tlio old things are good and sound: they've been tried.
